SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application to Withdraw From Listing
and Registration; (Equus II Incorporated, Common Stock, $.001 Par
Value) File No. 1-11362
June 12, 1998.
Equus II Incorporated (``Company'') has filed an application with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to
Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') and Rule
12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to withdraw the above specified
security (``Security'') from listing and registration on the American
Stock Exchange, Inc. (``Amex'' or ``Exchange'').
The reasons cited in the application for withdrawing the Security
from listing and registration include the following:
The Company's Security has been listed for trading on the Amex and,
pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form 8-A which became effective
on May 20, 1998, the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (``NYSE''). Trading
in the Company's Security on the NYSE commenced at the opening of
business on May 20, 1998, and concurrently therewith such Security was
suspended from trading on the Amex.
The Company has complied with Rule 18 of the Amex by filing with
such Exchange a certified copy of resolutions adopted by the Company's
Board of Director's authorizing the withdrawal of its Security from
listing and registration on the Amex and by setting forth in detail to
such Exchange the reasons for such proposed withdrawal, and the facts
in support thereof. In making the decision to withdraw its Security
from listing on the Amex, the Company considered the expense of
maintaining a dual listing.
The Exchange has informed the Company that it has no objection to
the withdrawal of the Company's Security from listing and registration
on the Amex.
By reason of section 12(b) of the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder, the Company shall continue to be obligated to file reports
under Section 13 of the Act with the Commission and the NYSE.
Any interested person may, on or before July 6, 1998, submit by
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450
Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, facts bearing upon whether
the application has been made in accordance with the rules of the
Exchange and what terms,
[[Page 33421]]
if any, should be imposed by the Commission for the protection of
investors. The Commission, based on the information submitted to it,
will issue an order granting the application after the date mentioned
above, unless the Commission determines to order a hearing on the
matter.
For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation,
pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
